Ok guys, I have to make a decision pretty soon on which wheel to go with. Currently I have the Boss 338s that were delivered to me with some minor defects. I have the option to return the wheels and get a new set but it will be about 3 weeks for the rear 20x10 wheels (backorder). Should I stick with the Boss or order the gloss black 20 inch FR500s from a local distributor? Below are pics of both wheels. Thanks guys! By the way, I like both styles of wheels a lot

On black I'd go with something with at least a polished lip. I like the 500's but not sure about putting them on a black car

I agree. Black with polished lip or possibly gunmetal. But I definitely like the FR500's better.

Yeah guys, I agree with you guys as far as the polish lip goes. I wish I could see the 20 inch FR500s with the polish lip on a car. All I find is 18 inch and they look too little

Another point to consider is that a wheel like the one you have Needs to be larger to appear the same size as say a 19" fr500 wheel. The fr wheel has spokes that extend to the outside of the rim where the other wheel has spokes that end on the inside of the wheel. It's really just an illusion but something to consider.

So does the FR500 look bigger than the boss if the are both 20 inch?

I'd say the boss wheels will look larger given the same wheel size on both. If you look at the boss wheels the spoke extends all the way to the edge.

FR500s 100%, all the way. Personally, I would not go with a 20, but that is your call.

Yeah I hear you on the 20s I was planning on going with 18 a couple weeks back but I could not find a wheel that stood out in size 18. I am not a big fan of 20s but figured I give them a try

I like the bullitts. But if you decide on the fr500's I'd get the ones like American Muscle sells. The ones in the picture look too rounded off on the inside spokes. I'd think about a lighter color too. Black wheels always blend in and you can never see the design.
